Arthur C. Clark and Stanley Kubrick made one and only mistake in their piece of work “2001: A Space Odyssey”, and that was the date.

Marvin Minsky, the great intellectual and guru in the field of artificial intelligence, gazes the future of machines with optimism. “One day”, he maintains, “machines will master the ability of thinking, whatever the term “think” might mean.” When interviewed by the New York Times he did not hide his enthusiasm.

Nowadays, almost forty years later, he is looking back into the field he helped to shape:

“We got stuck”, he says. “Artificial Intelligence has made it into creating a bunch of wonderful things…programs that can do better than an average stockbroker, programs that can amend certain things…
